Greeting All

I am a Rasberry Newby and I am also one week into Linux so I am certainly no 
expert and hardly make even a beginner, however I have been doing pc stuff 
since the first XT came out gods knows when.
And I wrongly assumed that most of us on this forum were windows savey and 
rasberry PI poor as I am very much the latter.

I digress slight however pertinent to this discussion that using the old  
terms back in the days of Dos were there was no GUI's and everything was 
done from a command line When the GUI appeared in windows from that point 
on everyone in order to do dos stuff if you were using windows had to pull 
up a dos window to get the command prompt.
So as time progressed people used the GUI more and more and the art of command
 line became less and less.

Since we have already covered how to get remote desktop enabled in the Rasberry PI
and I will paste it in here so save anyone not sure where this all started from....
can at least get on the right page.

Now lets cross to the dark side and open an RDP session in windows so we can 
see the Rasberry PI's desktop on our windows box.

I do everything here with RDP as all my pc stuff is in a rack mount down stairs 
and because I live 19 degrees from the equator it is pretty
hot right now and steamy as we are in the midst of our wet session.
My work station is in a much nicer and cooler surround and so i use RDP to 
talk to my packet radio BBS and webserver plus the file
server and now also my  Rasberry PI all from my cooler workstation.

Right lets get on with it....

-----------------------------------------------------------
to pull up and RDP session in windows do the following
click start
then program
then accessories
look down the list and you will find  "Remote Desktop Connection"
in windows 7 if you right click on it you are able to send it as a 
short cut to your desktop
OK thats the long way using your GUI
------------------------------------------------------------
part two another option and my preferred
click start
then click run
In the box type the following    mstsc and press enter
(what you have just selected from a command prompt is Microsoft Terminal Services)
This will open up and RDP session on your windows desktop ready to connect to 
a remote computerand for the Dos boffin the quickest way to get to an RDP

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok last way to do it is from your command prompt  (to get that click start and in 
windows 7 you get the search box, just type in there cmd and this will give you
the black box where in the old dos days thats all we had. 
Anyway in the black box just type the same mstsc and press enter, this will launch 
a terminal service ready for you to just type in the ip address of your raspberry pi 
and the rest is covered above

Ok this now covers both sides of Remote Desk toping both the Rasberry PI and a windows 
box  part two is the best for me but you may prefer other ways....enjoy!

Kind Regards Tubby
